twitter wont be topped.

retweet is the greatest sm function ever created and other plats just dont understand how incredible that is and cant utilize it.

mastodon has a retweet like functionality called "boosts" but you can't add commentary to it.. main dev is trying to avoid negativity at all costs but he's actually killing the platforms potential.

yup. twitter being the wild west in its early days up until 2014 or 15 is why it became big. nobody had filters and all the funny shyt that happened on twitter would hit other plats via screenshots a week or so later.

people would be like "IG funny as hell" and it would just be people posting twitter posts that 9/10 was retweeted on their timeline. i dont think it can be replicated honestly.

me and my boy was roasting back in the day on there someone with 10k followers rt one of the tweets then we got 100s of quote tweets of "lmaoooo" and got followers. you cant even joke with friends today on sm without getting suspended for a week. :mjlol:

Until you come up with a platform that mixes only fans with breaking news so you can have thots and politicians on the same platform (like Twitter has) then you can forget about being relevant.

thats why i think they want to federate with mastodon, nsfw accounts can be hosted on mastodon instances and users on threads would be able to follow, reply, quote, or repost without messing with META brand of being SFW and advertisers. their ability to filter to filter and blur mature/nsfw photos will be key tho.

they already have some major news organizations and journalists that are active on threads, i think they do have some politicians, and some government agencies on there too. it's likely to grow during major crisis's, threads video/photo quality is WAYYY better than whats available on twitter. they have to add video controls to their video player tho.

Threads would probably be more successful if it weren’t tied to FB/Mark.

Our world is ruled by mediocre white men. They steal ideas from talented people, back stab them, and attain great fortune for their treachery. When left to their own devices they're like a skydiver without a parachute.

Didn't this fakkit come up with that whole META thing that flopped hard too?

M.O.P. told us years ago what it is

🎶 Listen, this world revolves around
nikkas that rob and steal and deal and kill for thrill 🎶

Is it ideal? Hell no, but then again we ain't exactly ideal individuals nor as a collective species. You eat the guppies, and along the way you'll probably get eaten by a bigger fish. That's just human nature and nature in general.

"If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin." "If you ain't ruthless, you'll be toothless." Those 2 expressions exist for a reason.

So y'all can live your lives on some "to be seen on the right side of history" nonsense. Have fun with that. I'll take my short time on this planet and do whatever I need to to secure enough resources to ensure a life for me and my people without having to worry about my next meal or the luxuries I enjoy in my free time. And I don't have to actively hurt anyone physically or mentally (most importantly, myself) to do so.

And not a damn person is gonna guilt trip me for pulling ahead.

Those moguls may have fukked others over at one point, but last I checked transactions are 2 ways. Once you agreed to get fukked because of a lack of aggression, adapting, or due diligence causing the next man to out-maneuver you, you've lost all sympathy from me.

Don't be the deer stuck in snow when you know wolves are out hunting. Plan accordingly and #ProtectYaNeck :wow:
